Should we be updating Python?


This, apparently, is not new news.

Knowing Open source, that will have been patched, and fast too, if a patch was needed. Does anyone know the score on that? Was it just a windows bug?

This was a bug in a Python program written by a researcher. The script doesn't take into account that different OSs sort files differently. Hardly a bug in Python or the OS.
